2008-01-16T08:41:00.000+11:00

Its been way to long in between posts!! Christmas was so awesome - our first christmas as a family of 3 - to cute!! Jackson got super spoilt and we enjoyed the company of our closest friends and family - it was very nice!!

Jackson is growing up very quickly - he is just about unstoppable and uncatchable haha its a whole lot of fun!

We think he is cutting a few more teeth and are just waiting for them to pop up.

Dyl is doing great, he had 3 weeks of over chrissy, for which we added some new things to our house and he spent alot of time with Jack which he loved!

I only had the week between christmas and new year of, but i am loving work at the moment, so it didnt really phase me.

We took jackson to the beach with dave, bec and linc - it was very very cute, he had a ball. Although, the sand hahha it was EVERY WHERE!

Jackson is having a ball at childcare, his eyes light up when he sees the girls, which is very reassuring that he feels comfy there.

Well theres not much else to tell, we went to bronte's 6th birthday on sunday night - i really cant believe shes 6 already, the years are going way to quick!!

Im making a carrot cake this morning for mothers group which is at my house - yum!!

ive added some new pics!! and will update again soon!!

Wowsers, only 5 sleeps till christmas... this year is going way to quick!!

Well lots have been happening here, Jack has started to hold onto things and pull him self up into a stand, it is so cute!! He has also cut his first tooth, its only just through the surface but feels quite sharp already - he'll have a toothy grin in no time ;)

Work is going great, cant believe ive been back for 4 weeks already, wow. Jack seems to like childcare, but loves haning out with his nan, oma and linc - ive added pics of his first day in childcare - playing in the sand - lil spunk.

We had christmas with Dyls sister kell, sandy and the boys last weekend, it was alot of fun and jack enjoyed playing with riley!!

Cant wait to have some time off, would love to take jackson to the zoo or some thing (leeanne you have inspired me). Perhaps a picnic at werribee mansion is in order!

Caught up with tinz and coco on sat, jack loved them - such the ladies man.

Well i hope you guys are all well and that you have an awesome christmas and new year if we dont see you before!

2007-11-21T09:25:00.000+11:00

Hi Guys,

Everythings great here, i started work back in the office 4 days a week last week - and am loving it :)

Im a bit nervous about being away from jack so much, but am greatful to have such awesome family to watch him for the most part as he only has to go into child care one day a week, which will be good for him and me :)

His first day at childcare is tomorrow - hes going to Kylies centre which makes it easier!

Jackson is now motoring all over the house and has so far discovered that there are several rooms he can get to, he has also discovered - the christmas tree (cute), the fish tank, speaker wire, oohhh and that angus moves as well - look out angus! hahaha

We bought a play pen and cant wait for it to come, moreso for his safety then any thing :)

Ive added more pics as well :)

Love Colly

Hey Guys!!

Well - Jacks tooth seems to have decided to not come up after all, its disappeared! Either that or his gums are swallen! We arent too sure!

We have given Jacskon his first tastes of Solids - he LOVED it, the first one he tried was pears, and he kept trying to feed himself, it was sooo cute! I have added pics of him eating pumpkin for the first time - take a look!

Dyl and i are doing fantastically, September is such a busy month for family birthdays - which is great in a way as we get to catch up with every one!

We took the lil man to see the Bourne Ultimatum this arvo with Jon, Janine and Miss Charlotte, it was a fab movie - highly recommend it!

Im hosting mums group this week, should be great, we look forward to our wednesday meetings - and we are starting swimming with the group soon - not looking forward to getting into some swimmers, ha! But it will be great fun!

WOW, my gosh in only a few days alot has happened! Jackson has/is cutting his first tooth! i was very shocked to have my lil man sitting next to me on the couch and i saw something white in his mouth - i cried!! he CANT be growing up this fast!! He'll have a toothy grin in no time!!

We cant leave the lil man alone on the floor any more either, he rolls from back to front with out fail each time you put him down - which is fantastic, accept he gets tired and cant roll back, so you roll him back to his back and he rolls back to his front! it is TOOOO CUTE!! The little monkey, he is just fantastic!! Growing in leaps and bounds!

Our visit with the Maternal Child Health Nurse was great - here are his stats:

Head Circ: 43.9cm
Length: 68.7
Weight: are you ready for this.........................................8.2 kilos!!

We are very very proud, he is in the 97th percentile for most things (those percentiles are ancient any way) but we are still amazed at how much he has grown!

In length, he has grown 6.5 cm in 8 weeks and in weight almost 3.5 kilos.

Dylan and i are great, we are having some friends over for a bbq saturday night, so we are looking forward to that!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Love Colly

Well we had our first roll over last night, Jackson rolled over from back to front 4 times! and again this morning!! very very exciting, our little man is growing up!! Lucky dyl got to see it, we were cheering him on - so cute!!

Jacks four months old this friday and we are having so much fun with him, he is a really good baby, we cant imagine life without him. We have an appointment with the Maternal Child and Health nurse tomorrow, so will update you with his stats tomorrow!

Dyl bought a new car - a toyota hilux - he flew to newcastle on saturday to pick it up - he is very happy with it.

I started working from home a couple of weeks ago, i did 6 hours last week and im finding it really good - loving the extra money.

On another note - Bradley and Haley had a new baby girl on Sunday afternoon - Josephine Charlotte Audry - 8 pounds 7 oz, she is divine!

Hope you are all well!
